My Verizon Sony Xperia Play (R800x) mentions about twice a day how it wants to check for an update, and that it can only update over 3G, so it will now turn off Wifi, etc. Now, when it finally does check, it will either:
- Check forever, or
- Say that no update is available
The update history also shows that there has never been a software update done on the phone, and the Android version is still 2.3.2. What gives?
I have a verizon version. I'm getting the same notification, but no update available. I have tried to use sony update service and over the 3G still get no update available.
happened to me twice, turned off wifi went in and manually checked says no update and if u look at info says failed. but now i dont get the popup anymore..
Same here, I had assumed it was an update for vcast or one of the many apps that we can download games from updating the games that are available

Yes. If you install, you won't have root, but it can be re-rooted in future if so desired.
How do we root with 2.1 t-mobile installed?

Does anyone knows there's no RTSP streaming anymore? At least not over 3G, over WIFI I dont have any problems streaming videos over RTSP.

How do you 'check now' ? I popped my T-Mo SIM into the G2 (I have a Desire now..) and hoped the upgrade prompt would just appear, but nothing.. I've left it switched on for 15 mins so far.
Edit: I've not booted this phone since getting the Desire, so I've not tried to force the stage one 2.1 update into it - should that matter?

If you have got the pre 2.1 update that is available OTA from TMobile and HTC then you DO have Software Updates section in Settings, About Phone, and a button there to Check Now.
That's what I did (having installed the OTA pre update a couple of weeks ago) and that's how I got the update.
So - I think your info is out of date or ..... "Don't write wrong informations".
You need the OTA pre 2.1 update to get the "Check Now" option in Settings About Phone Software Updates.
If you have a tmobile or htc unbranded phone, then a lot of people have prompted the "pre" update by setting their date forward (I did a month, some have done 2 months others have done years) - I think the key is that the phone checks once every 2 weeks for updates, so moving the date by more than 2 weeks make it check now. Once the pre update is there - you have the same feature from the Settings, About Phone, Software Update menu.
HTH
Note: The updates are linked to the ROM "branding" of the phone, not the network operator of the SIM - so, if you have an orange branded phone, unlocked running with a tmobile sim, then you aren't offered the updates as Orange haven't released them yet.
well I must have had an odd ball G2 Touch from T mobile as the check for up dates was on the phone when it arrived from Mr T in May 2010 I checked every week for the lastest update I had the OTA last month the phone was updated to 2.1 last night. all working ok it seems happy with the phone dose what it say's on the box.
That was about when the 1st update came out - so they must have pre updated the phone before shipping, for once, that's a reasonable service from TMob.
Got sick of waiting for an auto update, so just goldcarded it to a generic RUU and it all worked perfectly - now on 2.1 and happy
Ta.
Was greeted this morning by a notification saying update available but when I plugged it to my PC, PC companion says its up to date.
Its a vodafone X10 rooted with R2BA023
Update to 026 maybe.
Or update for an app via market?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
the point i think he is getting at is how does he do the update?
try OTA maybe?
For all the update notification which have been posted on this forum, me for once feel really jealous not getting a notification ever to the extends that I think I should go back to older firmwares to get something. + I hate this Generic Global firm which I bet is not related to anywhere? Is that the version they give aliens?
PC companion checks for phone updates about 2X per week or maybe every two days... It's better to use SEUS as it downloads updates as they become available.
The update your phone is asking for is probably just 026 btw.

Doesn't anyone actually understand what he is asking?
He wants to know why the update is available on his phone but not on pc companion.
Have you tried Sony Erisson Update Service?

Did you enable automatic updates? ;-)

You have to use SEUS to download the firmware, not PC Companion.
Your phone does tell you to go to Sony Ericsson's website and read how to update it

YES!!!
One thing that I just noticed. It was a while back that SEUS started to instructing for updates to just turn off your device for 30 seconds, just noticed that PC companion says that 5 s without battery removal?
remember depending on vendor the firmware may not come via seus dome are ota only
Myne does the same!! Well annoying!
Says a new update is available, and to connect my phone to PC Companion.
When I connect the phone it says the phone is up to date!
I try to do it OTA and it just says "You must use a computer to update your phone"
Checked SEUS and it says the latest update was released 24/06/10, I've already got that!

SE is playing the trick. Wondering if the "before the end of september" means exactlly at 11:59 PM on Sept. 30th./
you better use SEUS, seems to be the most accurrate one
I'm pretty happy with this phine right now, but I can't get info from system update menu.
If I use 3G data connection, update checking process interrupts with "update checking is currently not available" message, if I use WiFi connection, it just keeps checking forever, AFAIK it must at least say that my device is up to date, but it never happens.
Is it a common bug or should I blame my bad luck?
I would assume there aren't any system updates right now anyway. The handset is running eclair and froyo is not expected yet.
Anyone else having this issue? I dont really frequent Market that often but yesterday I decided to go on to it and noticed its slow as heck. Never thought much of it - turned on WIFI and instantly everything started working...
Later..I tried to use voice to text and it didnt work! Went back to Market and thats where I put 2 and 2 together, Google Apps fail to work on 3G. Talked to another friend of mine in the GTA who has an Xperia Play and same thing - he cant connect to Market on 3G!
I just installed 2.3.3 - still no go. DATA settings are FINE as I can browse without any issues..its just any Google Apps fail to work...
yes...i do hav the same problem...lol...i think it's got sth to do with the APN setting being occasionally lost -_-'' (software bug, maybe)
how did u install the 2.3.3? via generic UK 2.3.2 and OTA upgrade? (it's how i done it)...basically, search for 'APN Manager' (free on market) and install it. then u add one more APN of the same config as ur original APN and when it doesnt work, use the widget to switch it forth and back and it'd work...hope this help thou...not sure if ur circumstance's exactly like mine but this shud do the job anyway...
I updated using SEUS...its available for the Rogers XPlay. My apn settings are correct as I can browse...but off of 3g I can't authenticate with any Google servers....

Update - any app requiring authentication is not working! Even XDA app won't let me log in on 3g....

Hello all,
I am currently having issues with my showbox on my Verizon Note 3. For some reason the app refuses to update and I am forced to uninstall and reinstall in order to get the most recent movie/show listings. On top of that, when I reinstall, I ALWAYS get an error msg when the app initially tries to download the movie/show list. It says "network error check Internet connection." I do not understand what the problem is because at the time my Internet always works fine on 4g. Finally, I am only able to download the most recent movie/show listings 1 time after initial install and that is when I am at home on wifi. After the initial update it goes back to not updating. My phone is not rooted, although my friend went through all the steps and then found out that bc of my baseband version, the phone could not be rooted. Is there any chance that attempting to root messed up some settings that are causing me to have this problem? I am running android 4.4.2. Any advice or help is greatly greatly appreciated. Also, I've been trying to find a way to contact the developer but haven't had any luck? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks again for all the help!!

Uninstall it and then get it from their website. That's the only way it works for me when that happens.

Verizon has this application's host server blocked in their firewall. I hear t-mobile, and AT&T aren't far behind...
I use shoebox daily on my note 3 and it's not blocked at all... I'm rooted and I just hit the back button everytime the update dialog pops up. Causing the pool up to go away... Back to showbox viewing then... Mine updates the movie or shows on either wifi or data... I did update a few months back when app broke though... I searched it on Google

What version is it?
Tried Uninstaller and reinstalling new app from website. Still getting "server error check Internet connection" while I'm at home on WiFi . Believe it or not it only has updated when I'm at work. Very strange. Any ideas?
So i just downloaded the app and you're right it does have the connection error.
I decided to run some tests on my work ATT wifi it wasn't loading but when i turned off wifi and used my Verizon 4g it loaded.
So i went back to wifi because i am not on an unlimited verizon plan to be downloading all these files, and it works.
I was able to recreate it on a tablet so i believe only the inital sync of the app is needed on a network not on ATT after that you can use the app normally.
Give it a try and see how it does work.
1st open the app on a non ATT network then switch over to the ATT wifi you're using.
Good Luck.
I tried showbox and I really liked it but it comes up as a threat in any Antivirus app.
I really don't know much about it but would like to know more.
I just don't need any frauds getting my info off my phone.
If it's all good to use can anyone explain the permissions. Location and a few others kind of made me worry. Plus my GPS was searching the whole time I had the app open.
Thanks guys
